Sweet words, empty calories. You kept your heart closed, But stood in mine like it was a gallery. Your words were like junk food. Addictive, left me wanting more - fact. But I took them in, ate them up, Until my emotions got fat And I finally had a heart attack. How could I swallow that garbage, That crap? "I like you." "Oh, I like you too!" None of that was true. Sweet words, empty calories. Junk food.

Embarrassing moments Regrets, words left unsaid flickering in and out of existence like flames that dance inside your head. Not a graceful dance, though But a clumsy one, one that gets them noticed Each step lighting up your brain Until every second is an annoying moment. Every attempt to focus, Is hopeless. Your eyes watched you do something stupid And your mind made sure they were duly noted Stored in your brain, but easy to access because it was left open Left on replay, and you're left broken Any warm thought leaves you, all alone, and it becomes the coldest Each thought that was a closed bud Is now a fully bloomed lotus.

On the edge of my lips Balance a thousand words That I could say a thousand times Everything else out of focus, a blur. On my fingertips Balance pulsing sparks Beginning to fade from when we touched last Dancing into oblivion, in unrestrained arcs. On the edge of my mind Our last touch, our last kiss It's so hard to be without All that you are, all that I miss.

I feel the winter approach On swift, white wings. My mind wishes for good things, And for the smaller, to which my hands can cling Like your company as, in this moment Time becomes slow And everything is nothing but warmth, Under the cover of snow.

Claws of ice dig deep Your words hit me like a snow flurry What can I do to feel your warmth? Apologise? I'm sorry. I'm strong but my thoughts make me weak Sometimes my ignorance was so lovely, And now I think of the things I should've said I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. The happiness and love I felt with you Is now replaced with pain and worry I don't want to be left alone All I have left are two words: I'm sorry.

I was never one to quickly want (something) quickly miss (someone) quickly love (anyone) You entered my mind And knocked gently on the door Inception style; the idea of you in my head Tore down my walls, ripped up the floor. And this idea expanded Grew wings and flew Until you were next to me, And my arms were around you. I was never one to quickly want (not so sure...) quickly miss (if you insist...) quickly love (times change...) And you changed me With a whisper (you told me to jump) and a touch, From those soft lips Complex in it's simplicity, a single kiss And now, there's nothing I want to feel under my fingertips S

Throw off the covers Easily like my waking dreams Roll out, stretch and yawn Open these eyes, enter sunbeams. Then I lean Ever so slowly To adjust my ears to the songbirds So melancholy Clouds pass by, void of a silver lining Ever rolling Reflect the darkness within my heart Never stopping Claws of lightning, flashing, crashing Always tearing Stir up my soul with drops of rain Always falling This is why I love Early mornings.

I tiptoe across the water, knowing I cannot swim, For you. The rain that makes you tremble so- I freeze it, For you. Cruel faces hewn by the wind, on rocks as tall as a starry night I crush them into stones so precious, For you. The gods created oceans, continents And everything in between Merely to keep us apart Yet those power-hungry creatures, too engrossed In their creation, they forgot The thing that keeps us connected- our heart. So remember me When you gaze upon the snow collecting at your window As the rain I froze, to allow you to slumber The frustration crackling inside from being so far- The lightning flashes, cras

Bursting at the seams With feeble dreams Of walking on clouds Surrounded by the unknown And the unseen Instead I'm covered in shrouds But now these dreams Rising to the skies like the winged creatures they are Imagination fueling their flight We've never seen such a beautiful sight And now we can't stop So I'll pull down the stars To rest beneath our feet We can't predict what happens next This tension keeps us on the edge of our seats Shielding us from what we fear This harsh reality Keeping us with what we hold dear Destroying any normality Now we close our eyes To see life go by As glowing, gleaming light streams S
